花語：錯過
這是個接近鬼神、妖魔的時代，人類既畏懼又崇拜那種超過自己的力量。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMzuRvrOc
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykNc83G1oo
漆黑的夜空星光格外閃耀，可惜無法將光輝射入這座荒城。狼嘯在城堡後的山上傳來，在山腳的城鎮回響。人們都瑟縮家中，害怕夜裡會被妖魔吞食、殺害。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz3mMGfJiN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rKkXbg7Cn
在鎮民間盛傳於森林深處，午夜會有吸食人類鮮血的怪物，他們以將人撕裂作樂，甚為可怖。故此晚上如同頒布了戒嚴令，沒有人會在外面走動。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXb9GtHyI6
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOEEHe5YDb
不，不對。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZe03eFMcY
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBeD1rBks
原本應為無人之境的森林深處，有名少女正借用星光來照明，毫不猶豫地朝城堡跑去。她就是「怪物」？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdLn4NJqwm
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJcHAbH6Vm
儘管她一身輕便的黑色衣裝，把臉亦藏起來，但仍能感受到普通人類的氣息。不過她抱著某件被布包裹的東西，當中散發出陣陣的血腥味。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBfa01Zlsr
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYBY1b6WaX
越過滿是荊棘的圍牆，她如入自家的庭園，完全沒有半分迷惑。來到某角落的窗前停下，她解開面罩，直接地坐在只剩下框的窗前。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi9wOG21yN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KjLmbJgol
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgelewizA6
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhHGPZgRkG
只是容貌如何並非重點，叫人驚奇是在窗的另一側、古堡裡面，也出現一張相同的臉。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwuoDPLFy
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVlzFYAbS
啊、不對，裡面那位的肌色更是慘白，半點血色也沒有，她身穿一條黑色的長裙，將雙腿也掩住。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOotLQWmI2
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAOJZleKHt
「茜，你終於來了啊……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7xGN3WbSp
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YK8FJjeMj
城堡內的少女，好像撒嬌的嚷道。她靠在無玻璃的窗框上，想要伸手出來，可是又停住。而外頭被稱為茜的那位，則笑了笑將手伸入去緊握住對方。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJePTzILePf
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UYFLYCaVX
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgVNcdkR07
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaJ0JzgN7u
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV22aoIxKK1
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLha0TVyCpx
「姊姊……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7zXXUE5Hg
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxNrxUbfQp
茜凝視關在城堡內的蕾，如一的臉龐隨日子而慢慢改變。她們明明本來是雙生的存在，為何現在正背對背越離越遠呢？這時，她記起曾經見過的雙生花，背對背而生，至枯萎才有機會見面。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpQ0EOjXqI
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn0OY5B5R1
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7thCfpXVWl
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMZedwbAr
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0eRvGvtUV
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnaY9Xbr16
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoUe0NvJ8s
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtet9Kj1QTW
「姊姊別怕……啊！你剛起床，應該會很餓了。我帶了你最喜歡的果汁來！」茜聞得姊姊的叫嚷，就即時把不安收起，端出平常的笑容說道。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtavHuGmSAK
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnAAnzeqMQ
只是茜明白的，蕾已經不再是人類，變成有接近永遠生命的存在。把本來抱住的那東西交給蕾，同時默默地想著。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq4HwRFk2X
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl94dJnnrXP
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXXkSyHYTq
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn4GJSUHqw
當然，這麼的事茜不敢說出口。她看著自己的姊姊把那布裹之物——血漿打開，然後好像吸吮什麼美味的樣子，就覺得很可怕。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltGP3qqYE
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqLa4o4XKI
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEeSfx1aIO
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjtZ6YQeGm
蕾已不會再長大，只要不被殺，就永遠是這個模樣。而她自己呢？會老、會死……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesGXjuGL4w
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LYE86vEt8
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKubONXom
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrldz0NsTXw
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMKfm9Sb0c
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6myxEzPV
本來沒有血色的蕾，在飲用了大半包血漿後，臉色恢復了不少。她露出天真的笑容，用力地抓住茜的手，只是蕾嘴角的腥紅，叫茜嚇得即時縮手。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQtO7sbUdp
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82qQNUA5qe
只是茜隨即就後悔了，眼下是自己姊姊受傷的表情，那份哀傷感同身受。當初蕾就是為了救她，而成為這種罪惡之身，她就把自己困在古堡。現在她竟然……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiYEhf7Fjy
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzBuusvN0i
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7rWTKtoq
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDBMzkqG8a
為了打圓場，茜故作開朗的手舞足蹈。而蕾沒跟住站起來，只是仰起頭凝望自己的妹妹，沉默不語的表情，叫人難以看透。只是這麼的狀況沒有維持多久，她就搖搖頭。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJNblJJonG
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2Zqo1J89
「不用了，這裡不是好地方。」剛還在對茜撒嬌的蕾，突然恢復了往日姊姊的風範，沉隱和理性。可是看在茜的眼中，既懷念又害怕。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH99Wy88SgX
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5blkEiInY
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZUW8bGhYl
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRSgnzN9t
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gdbuk57VM
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWUra4skIc
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr96nqjzWY
穿過荒郊野外，她們冷時就相依而睡。茜的鞋子破了，蕾就把自己的和她交換。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIHpQeyBaI
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9doZRcuvX
二人去過無數大大小小的城鎮，因年紀輕又是女生，所以找不到人僱用。可是人總會餓，每每蕾就跑去偷麵包給茜吃，試過被發現、被打傷，可是蕾總是不說出口。直至茜發現問到，她才笑著說不痛。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpscEW0Ed
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes6A7Y3EYQ
「世界上最美的是什麼呢？」每次痛苦時，快要面對死亡前，她們就會捉緊對方的手，問著對方如此的問題。想像美好的事物，令困乏的身軀添些精力，繼續走下去。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYCIPquKol
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsyKjZ09v4
那時，茜仍相信二人能這麼過一生。躲在蕾的背後長大，茜覺不用得到什麼，只要有姊姊在就好了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzDOAAkZoG
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdDfNhyV87
直至某天……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0DQbCjlY
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHM6mmlOEF
她們來到現在這個城中，雖然很想找工作，令無盡的旅程中稍微休息，可是像她們這種看來和乞丐沒分別的外表，根本沒有人想僱用。如此其實也沒差，反正她們早已習慣了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTsTDvzdDl
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq8upftbDb
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqbmn1c3FN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvr1rWqO2
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHTjiBUqyx
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZlYOiBq0K
森林的面積很大，連合了幾座山頭。路途比想像中更長更難行，她們在沒有準備、沒有食物、沒有食水之情況下，很快就面對死亡。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3jdrcqKZe
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMC8OHVh0i
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav5s2Z7xbp
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQau3Y753vn
茜雖覺很難受，可是依然拉住蕾的手。縱然要走到人生的終點，最少還有至親在身邊……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYZRZk6Stx
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jCKfZlxLo
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSkMFC1jc
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjOGvlWhTE
啊啊，是什麼也沒所謂了。她只覺得很口乾，就大口大口飲下那黏稠的液體。嘴巴更被塞入一些柔軟的肉。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCbLDCm4DJ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SGxRLB0kq
那些，是什麼來呢？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzSrnQRlG1
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25o1MJJMRl
當時茜什麼也不知道。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GPWO1ud8
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZblmxM7r7
在她再次張開雙目，就發現自己躺在柔軟的床上。在床邊的櫃子上，還放了豐富的食物和水。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvPdOV1WPd
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GzNEidszq
極度的空腹與乾渴令茜忘起一切，未有思考原因為何，就狼吞虎嚥起來。只是當她平伏下來，才想起……姊姊到了哪？這裡又是什麼地方？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31LAlFNHY
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbwXKqfviv
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nhGct7Vq
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyZ3sVPTkP
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8xe74EMjf
「……茜，小茜！」熟悉且溫柔的嗓音在耳畔響起，茜知道這是姊姊的聲音。為了回應對方，她就緩緩地張開雙眼。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRSCnmIlt
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUmgWUou8r
首先映入眼簾是蕾的臉龐，她的臉色雖然不太好，但看來乾乾淨淨，比平常更要漂亮。她正握住茜的手，還是暖暖的。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB83AP2kfOP
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWceCxMiTeh
「姊姊……」茜擠出聲音的同時，突然看到在蕾的背後，還站著個如同貴公子的男子。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjOvfVVQG9
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeYVQwTMwb
他蒼白的膚色，配上一對血紅的眼睛，冷漠的神情使人不寒而慄。只是他的視線沒在茜身上停留多久，就傳回到蕾身上。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbTEgAHqjD
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlcLOkWLoI
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mNybefYNG
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MLgJ0gZ1f
「茜，這位是我們的救命恩人。」蕾露出甜甜的微笑，稍微向茜介紹身邊人。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKASxuMlQS
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8BHL4DrGj
不過，儘管蕾沒有說出口，但茜見到姊姊的另一隻手正牽住他。被分了一半的愛，在她而言，實在不是味兒。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUajOe4JnIl
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEteWT4XNh
這時男子把蕾抱起，長長的裙子將蕾雙腳也掩過。茜總覺得很突兀，因為她很清楚蕾討厭穿長裙，說很不方便的啊！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPW9rjOmNd
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxc86lFZB
「茜可以先去梳洗一下，僕人們就在門口，一會她們會領你到飯廳。」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnMTM1LyV7
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi42UnkTzZT
「哦。」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbhZFQfATc
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykHp5BMX97
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQO7ngGNWO
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry4HN949Vr
自此，她們的生活無憂，蕾也嫁了給那個男子。除了日夜倒轉外，好像沒什麼奇怪的地方……「好像」吧……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2V7rKh7zE
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZIOWcZhl8
太陽西下的黃昏，才是新一天的到來。茜覺得很不習慣，可是還得接受……因為姊姊就在這裡啊！在廣大的庭院閒逛，城堡的眾人也紛紛醒來，客氣地和她打招呼。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF95NGOKsl3
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfdjo9OsK
很幸福吧？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20HYHcIZUB
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGgaedYNt
不用擔心衣食，也不用到處流浪。現在生活得如同童話中的公主，過得非常富足。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOx9aOg9O1
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAi7dPC8vM
只是……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBvLVjNsHF
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Yed3ux4W
凝視雙手，空空如也。已經沒有人會牽著自己走，姊姊已嫁為人妻，不再是屬於她了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHZviktm9T
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXICbI7HOQ1
「晚安，茜小姐。」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH03GWWmqLM
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlaMiLwYg7
突然一把男聲從身邊響起，她嚇了一跳踉蹌地退後數步。當稍微定神，便發現是和自己混熟了的園丁。真是的，這裡的人都神出鬼沒，心臟弱一點都被嚇壞啊！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLHE5OqrD
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKaaTf8y5P
「不用叫我小姐啦！」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqguJnF8AD4
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9ecH4QO9R
茜沒好氣地回了他一句，接著便繼續沒精打采地踢地面邁步。然，園丁放下手上的工作，急步追上前伴在她身旁。關心地問她有否不適之類，可是她還是搖搖頭說沒事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMYYcMLxwE
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvkzU1f6JL
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUpZ8gFxHE
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAiYIrWkxj
夕陽慢慢沒入地平線，換上是柔和的月光。地面的暖氣慢慢地消失，如此更令茜回想起與姊姊渡過的每一天。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TmX1egsBD
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv7BRjdiAr
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSKTHcX1yd
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNPt4CzWmv
「雙生花？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwWag6BLT
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvoZ4ul1J
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS56SFKHWgi
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PnzaJodU8
本來死氣沉沉的茜，終於恢復了一點精神，回到望向園丁尋求答案。記得雙生花只出現在傳說中，蕾以前好像也有說過這朵花呢！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyveeyga8sV
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub8uwNvO9N
「那麼在哪兒啊？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gSz0xLGlu
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ062A4C8frQ
茜打斷了園丁的話，一副如同小女孩般雀躍的模樣，叫他不禁看呆了。雖然平常都會陪她聊聊天，但就是不見她如此興奮。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJidhpvEOYF
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4XcxNz8HB
接著園丁便領著茜到某棵異常高聳的樹旁，聽說這樹由世界陷入大災難時，就守護這個國家，為消失綠意的世界重拾青綠的色彩。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63fSrK4rIN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0jBJbCpL
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRawU1Je64
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2SAljAR8Q
茜其實也滿喜歡這棵樹，總覺坐在樹下就能感受到心靈的安寧，故此她總是獨個兒跑來這裡。偶爾被園丁發現，就會和他說起她與姊姊的事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSlDuRkYD
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3BB3Cuja
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEani3rmsD
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVSfdXWXC
與園丁一起走著、走著，二人就來到大樹下。很神奇地她果然見到有花朵，綻放著兩朵花，背對背而綻放的花朵。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5byZMk7uv0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vxxTLAR4
「聽說如果一個人見到，就能遇到一生最深刻的愛。而兩個人見到的話——」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05eGclIwV8
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VZqJTo1Rp
沒有等園丁說畢，茜就即時跑回城堡中。她的希望只有一個，就是能夠和蕾一起看。只有……她和她。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz70ovXbLX
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgIlWUd2B9
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yxM8rfK7
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5L3AFt9T6
是過於愉快而忘了禮儀？或是她根本不清楚自己到底身處於什麼地方？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEcRI30M2
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXix724QoEt
未有叩門就打開姊姊和那個男人的房間，就目睹他正舔蕾從手上放出的血水，茜嚇得立即把門關上，連蕾在裡面呼叫她也不回頭。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RylopQgmP
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps6K4QVGrm
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3IqpfCreV
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPIObncoQV
會被殺！會被殺！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLX9aBb3uk
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU4yj9z74A
抱著被子瑟縮起來，全身顫抖不已。這時，有一隻手摸向茜的被窩，害她嚇得彈起來。隨即她就發現，原來是蕾來了，而那男人難得不在。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN50ZdNvKYN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1D9PgjD48
是放心，還是什麼？她抱住蕾大哭起來。不知過了多久，茜才止住眼淚，抓住蕾的雙肩，告訴她那男人是吸血鬼，要蕾和她一起逃走。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgsElzuy4
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9pWoI4lUw
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r7GAz0nft
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ92H3u8Gd0
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc59YByKQT
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0716Dy6SH6
之後茜見到園丁，和那男人都站在房門前，害怕的情緒即時萌起，只是她直覺不能表現出來，一定要裝作沒事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1a2txxOMQ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVOQhkwBh4
男子沒有多說什麼，筆直地走近她們，再把蕾抱起來。在尾隨的園丁示意下，茜就隨著他們，一起再去看看那朵雙生花。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl1axXkQt0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRJSwVcPOP
可惜當再次到達，本來背對背的雙生花已枯萎，卻扭轉了花枝，面對著面。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEydgbo6Y
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhliYT2BSUb
茜遠遠看著蕾，對方的眼中已沒有她。蕾的笑容和輕語，都給了那傢伙……明明是怪物！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyymWtDQ9tC
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9lvhgbv8
沒法接受，不能相信，茜覺得蕾一定是被控制住，所以她決定了一件可怕的事，令她日後後悔不已的一件事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GhpyyAjDk
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUqrwFwgH6
她偷了附近的地圖，在白日時偷偷溜出去，到城鎮中找人幫忙。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQwPZMEQew
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97AEZTmk4a
當鎮民知道自己活在「怪物」之鄰，才開始結合力量，向教會求助。只是調動人手，可不是短時間就能成事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfXXUVRIgH
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxVEm8Gbyq
茜等了又等，過了數個月才終於等到教會軍到來。由於過於擔心姊姊的安危，茜就自願帶著士兵來到森林中。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsEwdL3YmI
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j1EuV9zbu
那時是白天，大家都睡著。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOjR7nTLcB
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulNiMXF1M
只要殺死吸血鬼就好了。茜本著這信念前進，可是她還來不及制止，士兵就把其他人也殺光。那些照顧過她的女僕，陪她聊天的園丁……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaaODQoTVW
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoOFxO6Xd
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPYFVB9FN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggEp1G3Tk
茜開始害怕，就朝著蕾的睡房，也就是吸血鬼的房間跑去。只是房間沒有人，她就一面呼叫，一面到處跑。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSWHgcrLm
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDZsnMhyfS
「姊姊！姊姊！」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhletVyIY0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMtz6RpZq
去了哪兒啊？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsuk6e8OTb
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmxD2bsnI
最後，她找到了。蕾和那吸血鬼倒在一間可愛的房間中，滿滿的布偶，還有一張小小的床。這裡是嬰兒房？茜的心房突然揪住，她已沒勇氣繼續想下去。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCROmIABT
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uGu1IDTxx
茜走到蕾的身邊蹲下，那個吸血鬼已經死掉，他的頸項有著鮮明的牙印，而相對蕾的嘴巴滿是血水。她努力地將二人分開，才見到蕾微隆的肚部正在出血。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQPHPO2Ob
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2tix9lSsL
再往下看，茜再次見到蕾的雙腳。在被救後，蕾就一直穿著長裙，現在她終於明白原因何在。蕾的其中一隻腳不見了！傷口已結巴良久，所以一定不是近期做出的。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKbDwztC7c
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uLc36MqqH
茜想起第一次見到他，撇開了種族，他有對自己做什麼壞事嗎？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVgzfHiFBn
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoIbLLQKDu
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8HMhNHGbq
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRULCHb7V0
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEbo2WAVGj

接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNEFF20QK0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWfJCKTbU
待大火平息後，才回到城堡中，可惜也面目全非了。蕾不知是否受了太大打擊，幾乎什麼都忘記了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNdcZhqHVl
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCDAH25bNR
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpSxJrPbOC
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7WYV2uZg8
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BDOmMHbqD
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGb0o1Ill
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdMtjpUlns
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSikAklwsqG
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmY5oUCleT
坐在城堡中的蕾嚷著，令茜的思緒再次回到當下。茜一面迅速地轉變話題，一面翻動口袋，從中取出一顆種子。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZHiDSVnST
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6xSmAV0L
「這是什麼？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dKfB5XxsM
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMs0FUd5WQ
「曇花的種子，花朵在晚上開花，這麼你一定能夠看到。」茜想要彌補自己所犯下的罪，可是她知道這些事，都沒法子把事實去改變。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmInpxLKa
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgRFnTqbJz
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVbKcf0dPA
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj0QLjdLZ2
日光照在茜的身上，她瞇起眼睛望向天空。以前和姊姊一起眺望，明明覺得日出很美麗的。只是為何現在什麼也感受不到了？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJLHUyXdRp
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwVPe9LT1g
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc85PfwPUDP
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6jAb1ehQ
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsPL6R0Jgh
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFhJosGtmA
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSEqGX0biQ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApCCKbhYUl
日復日地往返，茜依然每天都帶了不少珍美的東西到來。那朵曇花日漸地成長，冒出了一個花蕾，同時蕾沉默的時間也拉長。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvXFKSnDpG
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2BemNCogG
不會是想起什麼吧？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSykln8zKZ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAzj5yjNi9
光是想像，茜的罪惡感就倍增，連掛在臉上的微笑也變得虛偽。直至——584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqineFWLR9
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeENcOV223
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8AykHeHgx
花，開了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHec2wLu1Ky
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH6ynnghWu
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdvhAf4A4C
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC12I4h9upS
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCeXZ0r6fh
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXHnJo1t7v
「……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfyyWe7Yyf
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uEKPkEpfU
茜露出笑容，仰起頭望向蕾。然而她沒有回應，只定定地盯著那已枯萎的花朵。停頓了數分鐘，她才緩緩地把視線轉向茜。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84pUQRfD6K
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1QbR3Syq
「茜……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElMAmbUPZ3
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1O2JkCFR
「呀、是？」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6XAL4iN7U
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZXvByalHp
「我想和你看日出。」蕾用沉穩的語氣說道，眼神充滿著平靜。只是茜錯愕地愣住數秒，就立即用力地搖搖頭。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y37IuNn6W
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmIl9v89hA
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAbyuk9NgC
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6gfNT1J2Y
「沒事的，我遠遠地看就夠了……好嗎？」蕾主動地抓住茜的手，穿過了以城堡定下的界線。見此，茜也只好點頭答應。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uZ7mAJFeb
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXv9JUhOZi
蕾看似輕巧地朝窗框以單手一拉，將整個落地大窗的框架扯出。接著她隨手地往裡面一丟，發出了滿大的聲響。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIlnMEsxPu
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH472fhuZQ
少了窗框的阻隔，這一年來，茜首次接近自己的姊姊。她蹲下身捉住蕾的手……沒有半點溫度，那雙曾是多麼溫暖的手。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrZ6gYEJhe
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgS3UwrpZq
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUfHP763GK
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN5I30TI8O
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4xumnZQP
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0VcVjxFOp
沒有愛，何生恨？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvywP7KoZ0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw9mYJ2aHX
捉緊又鬆開的兩手，茜轉個身看到這間「嬰兒房」中，放滿了她為蕾收集回來的東西。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7h3HP0laZ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi58GSx29n5
漂亮的東西依然漂亮，卻不是美麗。放在房間中央的籃子內，什麼、也沒有。不忍再看下去，她就把蕾揹起來，踏出這個作為牢籠的荒城。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48GWgYKk1W
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn8n6lfhSo
「記得東塔的閣樓能夠看到很棒的日出，讓我帶你去吧！」茜輕輕地說道，不敢發出太大的聲音，也不敢回頭，她總覺得背上濕漉漉的。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR0Ik98Lsz
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsJYwFuCoM
經過了嬰兒的搖籃，本來環住茜的手臂，其中一隻在那鬆開。本來她想問蕾是否要停下，可是很快蕾就把手再度環上，而茜聽到一陣鈴鐺的聲音。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4fevxuccc
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZHn02147
雖然茜沒有看到是什麼，她卻覺得是嬰兒的腳鏈。她硬著頭皮，繼續往城堡深處走。城內的屍體還在，於黑暗中沉默地長眠。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1iDAUW8KO
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMpyHYHj3J
每走一步，茜都覺得很難過，彷彿在說出自己的罪惡，滿地也是罪證。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXtlV5mS2B
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4NHMedeLn
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1vDqFfzJW
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz6exCya6R
茜將蕾放在窗台上，本想試試能不能將釘板拆下，可是蕾只用一掌，就把那釘死的木板打碎。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRriZCP9Iq
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFcd7wlS2
「姊姊，來坐去那面的角落，不然會被太陽照到……」茜想要再次背起蕾，卻被對方撥開了手。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJUkah04AN
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY47dk3Ga25
「姊姊……」584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxbhObec00
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZKhrJWSxz
「茜，你覺得什麼才是最美麗？」突如其來的問句，把茜的話打斷。蕾望向還是昏暗的天空，再從懷中小心翼翼地拿出一隻腳鏈。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD19CMgxnT0
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJU72f8ymJ
叮鈴……584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA3GLNPM9Z
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DfJwEyzXO
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0uG9xxya
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAfIpF0VDe
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzosSrW62Kj
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGVxuSxrP
「這個問題，『他』也問過我。」蕾仰起頭，把身體朝向窗外。是懷念心愛的那人，還是想起當時的那顆心呢？584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodGxBdZtVA
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyiXKirtAD
茜沒有回答，蕾也沒有追問。她仰望夜空，就覺得好像聽到心愛之人的呼喚。她不自覺地向天空微微舉起手，同時光線從地平線綻放。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcJnB3Pb9
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwnvdJm1vp
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH80KX7jZt
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xlV7OvnaA
難以站起來的蕾，用手按住牆壁勉強撐起。茜見狀就環起蕾的腰，想把她拉回到屋內。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ih1dscCB7
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByb9otw5fk
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWCsDnu9FJ
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ghXPKILRr
可惜太遲了。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVdl8gZO46
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVgimWIDk1
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSpYH7SAEU
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviwXrFHGY8
破曉的光芒完全地綻出，被照到的蕾開始化成粉末，只是她還是沒有放棄，努力地接近那個近似幻象的他。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38wNcVCy5
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MZpesjht
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU86kUp42n
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzzXuJlbQ
被剩下來的茜，張大眼睛望向天空，想起了蕾曾告訴她的雙生花——為了所愛的另一朵花，而去獻出自己的所有，不求回報。584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpybog2RS6
584Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgfnbr0pw5
「另一朵花可否是……」茜喃喃地說出，然後從窗台、蕾消失的位置跳出去。
